Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and memorial events.
Around Mill Hill, wakes are frequently at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What affects the price in Mill Hill
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Mill Hill
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In winter, it is dark in Mill Hill by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Mill Hill
Is Mill Hill close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Betteshanger Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
